Sexecology

Sexecology (also ecosexuality) is a term coined by performance artist, activist and professor Elizabeth Stephens and sex-educator and performance artist Annie Sprinkle. It is a combination between art and environmental activism, which seeks to make activism "more sexy, fun and diverse" and to involve the LGBTQ community, employing absurdist humor, performance art and sex-positivity as aesthetic and theoretical strategies.

Sexecology (also ecosexuality) is a term coined by the couple of performance artist, activist and professor Elizabeth Stephens and sex-educator and performance artist Annie Sprinkle. It is a combination of art, environmental activism, theory and practice. Sexecology seeks to make environment activism "more sexy, fun and diverse" and to involve the LGBTQ community. Apart from environmental activism, sexecology employs absurdist humor, performance art and sex-positivity as aesthetic and theoretical strategies. Stephens underlines that it "may produce new forms of knowledge that hold potential to alter the future by privileging our desire for the Earth to function with as many diverse, intact and flourishing ecological systems as possible."

It invites people to treat the earth with love rather than see it as an infinite ressource to exploit. Sexecology uses "ideas from different regions such as India and their idea of seven chakras to get closer to the earth. Also the idea of Sexecology "grew from the need to protect the resources of the earth and the need to save it."

The couple of Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stephens aspires to make the environmental movement more “sexy, fun, and diverse.” They promote education, with events such as the ecosex symposium, and activism, with strategies for earth justice such as protecting the Appalachian Mountains from mountain top removal (MTR), a style of coal mining that’s especially degrading to surrounding ecosystems.
